FOR THE INDIANS.

An Entertainment to be Given by the
 WOmen's Indian Association at the
 Atheneum Next Friday.
 On Friday of this week a tableaux and dramatic entertainment will be given at the Atheneum under the auspices of the Women's Indian association. Conspicuous among the tableaux which form the first part of the en- tertainment, and which consist mainly in representations of famous paintings, are: ftThe Missionary's Tale," after Vibert, and the Russian Wedding Feast" There will be also "An Indian Burial,"' after Farny, ftMusic," after Albert Moore, ''The Poets Dream" and one or two other living pictures, the pauses between the scenes being agree- ably filled by vocal music.
 The tragic cantata "The Grasshopper" follows the tableaux, with an amusing adap- tation of the song "A Grasshopper Sat on a Sweet Potato Vine" to music arranged by member of the Wednesday club of Balti- more. The sad fate of the poor victim is set forth in every operatic variety of form, from the deep, mystic bass of the "gobbler" him self to the dulcet tones of the deceased's maiden aunt. The entertainment will close with drama entitled "Young MT. Pritch- ard, ]" which promises such success that the performers are already in request to repeat the play in a neighboring city.
 Tickets are now on sale at Fords, at Judd's and at Jarman's.

 Wood Nearly Sewers one of His Toes
 From lhe Foot.
 Attorney McKean of the law firm of Rob inson & McKean met with a serious accident while at his home in Guilford yesterday which will confne him to the house for sev- eral days. Attorney McKean was instructing his hired man how to chop wood when his axe slipped, cutting his foot on the side, nearly severing the great toe. Medical aid was summoned and the foot dressed, but it will be some time before the attorney re- turns to business. It may be well to add that the hired man does not approve of that way of chopping wood.
